The Old Way,
When a man wanted a really fine suit or an
overcoat, was for him to go to a merchant tail
or of reputation, who. for about the price a
distinguished specialist charges for a delicate
operation, would furnish him with garments
irreproachable in style, quality and fit. He
was pretty sure of satisfaction, but it came
high.
The New Way,
Is to step into a store where L. Adler, IJros. &
Co.'s clothing is sold and pay a reasonable
price for a suit or an overcoat that the swell
tailor can not duplicate for double the money.
As exclusive agents in Rock Island for L. Ad
ler, Bros. & Co., we cordially invite you to in
spect their latest styles.

scouring the city for him. It is thought
there will lie no possibility of his es

perfect and no lime was losi in report
ing the loss.
Tin- stolen money belonged to Cap
fain John Baruson. superintendent of
the govertiniFiit transport dock, and
was iu a sack which was taken from

with people watching the yacht bttlle
